Plumbers working in the back yard accidentally left the gate open, and both turtles escaped.

"Iris was found in the street just in front of the house." Goza said. "There was a lady that had stopped to take her picture, so I picked her up quickly, and then I grabbed my son, and we started looking for Lennie."

But so far, there is no trace of the traveling tortoise.

The family lives in The Village, but they know that doesn’t mean Lennie is still in the area.

"Last time he got out was several years ago, and he was gone for 10 days," Goza said. "Through a series of events, we found him in Alligator Alley, which is way down on, like, 23rd Street."

As the days crawl by, Goza hopes for the best.

"My fears would be that someone takes him to Lake Hefner and drops him in, and they don’t swim. They’re land animals -- or that I find him in the road, but I just want to bring him home safe," Goza said.

Goza said Lennie is not aggressive and has a deformed shell.

The family has posted ads on Craigslist and Facebook, and they made a report with The Village Police Department.

Anyone with information about Lennie's whereabouts is asked to call 580-678-3671.
